It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. Judith went to the local comprehensive, Galashiels Academy, then read English at Edinburgh University, where she started to collect old plates and saucers with exotic Chinoiserie themes for a few pence apiece to cheer up her student room. He was also married, but he left his wife and daughters for his blonde, bright assistant; they married in 1978, and went on to have two daughters. In Petworth, Sussex, Martin Miller ran a bed and breakfast while Judith worked as an occupational guidance officer for the Department of Employment.

After a spell presenting BBC Two’s The House Detectives (1997-2000), in which she and a panel of experts “descend on ordinary houses to unlock their historical secrets”, she joined BBC One’s Antiques Roadshow in 2007 as an expert on Miscellaneous and Ceramics. Judith Miller has gone from collecting as a university student in the 1960's, to one of the world's leading experts in the antiques field.These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community. Included are tips on what to look for and how to spot rarities that may be worth more than is first discernible to the untrained eye. Born Judith Henderson Cairns in Galashiels, Scotland, Miller first began collecting antiques while studying history at the University of Edinburgh. There are connections to Yorkshire too including Burmantofts Faience Pottery from Leeds; Studio potter Joanna Constantindis, from York; Studio glass artist, Peter Layton, from Yorkshire as well as pieces from York in silver and sewing; some sporting and military pieces from the county and a teddy elephant which previously belonged to relations of the Ingilby baronets of Ripley Castle, North Yorkshire. After her marriage to Martin Miller ended in divorce in 1992, Miller began a relationship with John Wainwright, and they had one son.

Their new publishing company was run from the outbuildings, while the family lived in a smaller house at Sissinghurst and a Gothic mansion in Kensington.When Martin wanted to focus on property and hotels, Miller’s Publications was sold to Mitchell Beazley, but Judith remained as MD, overseeing the guides.

The plates were often broken, but they were a catalyst, inspiring Judith to visit the library to learn more about her finds. He was then affecting long hair and a moustache, and looked, as one critic put it, like “a black Pekinese had been dropped on his head from a great height”.

I was homesick for Scotland so I bought Monart glass, then I got obsessed by Ronald Stennett-Willson’s candlesticks, then Murano birds.
